Around 54,000 people across the country are being kept under community surveillance through health workers, Health Minister Harsh Vardhan told Rajya Sabha on Tuesday while lauding efforts of doctors and paramedics in dealing with cases of coronavirus.

"As one metre social distancing is required to be taken while dealing with those affected with the virus, I laud doctors and paramedics who are working honestly with dedication while taking risks in treating these patients."

"I laud all doctors and paramedics, be it in villages or cities or in private or government in controlling coronavirus at all levels," he told the House while replying to supplementaries during Question Hour.
